| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Again, best of luck. Sometimes the goal remains elusive, and ultimately unobtainable long-term. #Slippery slope 101. Zen teachings can help ameliorate and diffuse, sometimes, but not always.I still think you should at least have a listen to a W... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Another possibility would be to keep your system as is and spend a few thousand dollars or maybe even more, on the finest recordings you can find, of your favorite artists. Sit back and enjoy with the beverage of your choice. | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Assuming there are good soap operas, much of this thread is one depressingly horrible soap. There are grown men -perhaps a mistaken assumption- calling each other stupid names over some damn expensive fuses and pseudo-science. Ad hominem, anonymou... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... *"Reality" is illusory at best. *Tight sphincters are a hazard to one’s health.*And if that isn’t enough for a single post, who can provide a scientific, objectivist, working definition of "critical listening?" | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... I would like to propose an experiment, for all you fuse guys, if I may. It’s a “fuse-less,” yet profound upgrade. The cost is nominal. I firmly believe the benefits to be real, verifiable, and much less expensive than any fuse-du Jour. Full-disclo... | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) @mtdining Thank you for mentioning that Luxman. It may very well wind up on my short audio bucket list! And, after reading through this thread a second time, I may rethink a few things. :) IE: maybe four, large, heavy and hot black boxes full... | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) @gratefuleric+1While my bi-amped tube separates still sound better, I will say, that given enough break-in time, the Peachtree Nova is a damn good unit. I've got the 150. Clean power, runs nice and cool, good-looking, small footprint, excellent r... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k @mayoradamwestI find this thread mildly fascinating.To reiterate what others have asked: what is it you feel you’re missing and what is it that you’re hoping to find? Furthermore, why is $30K, for an amplifier, your "magic number?" Can you articul... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k @joecasey PS posed: The eternal question: "When is good enough good enough?"Joe Casey says Never!!!***************************************Ah, Mr. Casey, "Never!!!" you say? - therein lies a path to eternal dissatisfaction. Or worse. | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage If you fancy OHMs I suggest you take a close look at the cheap drivers and crude fit and finish of those speaker. I found it to be a depressing experience. I very much wanted to be an "OHM believer" so over the past couple of years, I tried three ... | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) "Love the one you’re with." After my recent, ill-conceived attempt at "downsizing", I realized that not only was it foolish, it was damn unpleasant psychologically and financially. Moral of my story: I’m going back to my multiple black boxes of tu... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k @mayoradamwest "Cables are Transparent Reference, specifically chosen to match the Boulder setup. I could get the Boulder pre-amp, but it’s 55k...."I’m a car guy and FWIW, I could get a 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, but it’s 192,00k...."The eternal... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k You'll never come close to hearing the full potential of the 2160 unless you pair it with one of Boulder's best preamps, and then, because your system will be so ruthlessly revealing, you'll likely have significant synergistic issues, particularly... | |
| Has anyone heard the new peachtree nova 150 ? The Nova 150 needs at least 250 hours of break-in time before it starts sounding good. After another 100 hours or so, the magic begins. | |
| SF Cremona Auditor M vs Harbeth 30.1 @dhcod and @miner42Thanks so much for your posts. I, too, have the CAM's and while I've been looking at other options for my small, dedicated listening room, all I've found, are speakers which are, at best, (maybe) lateral moves, not to mention t... |
